Gnir"rs, ac'itizen of the United States, andaresident'- proveniente inV Combination Mountings fori Moratalla ratings, .do hereby dclarent@ followingto be afullo'lear, and exact" de! scription ofthe same.

My invention relates` to improv'emetsfin ancombination .mounting for motorsN and ittings which is enclosed in a cabietwl'iferi" not Arequired for usef and .to whichV amul# tiplicity ofttings such. as an eggjbeatrQa meatggrinder, or other objects may' beati taclied,lthe mounting beingin such a`fori`i that variations,` ofspeed.` for the-A attachments maybe Hobtainedwithout reducing :the speed of the 'driving motor.

The cabinetfea'ture `means for-sav' ing `floor space rwithftlrie device at.d handat a-l-ltimes.- The position ofthe accessories relative to f al table beneath may be changed as desiredY to suit 'articlesused in connection therewith, provision "being-made for raising and lowering the mounting carryingthe accessories upon guides within the-lcabinet.

It will be readily understoodthat a device of this kind is an accessory for the culinary department and is particularly adapted for use where floor space is limited and a utility device needed.

The drawings are illustrative of the device only so far as its adaptability is concerned in which- Fig. 1 is a vertical elevation with one side of the cabinet removed and shows a meat grinder attached ready for operation in relation to a pan upon atable.

Fig. 2 is a plan view with the top of the cabinet removed.

Fig. 3 is a vertical elevation with one side removed and the mounting in the vertical position within the cabinet.

Fig. 4 is a front elevation with the door open showing the device in the vertical position within the cabinet. This view also shows the lugs upon the lower side of the base plate to which the utensils are secured.

Fi 5 is a cross section through on the line B., Fig. 2 showing the method of' attaching the utensils.

Fig. 6 is a section of the line A. A. Fig. 2 showing the pawl to secure the mounting at thed'e's'ired height inMk relation' to the cabinet. s y

To facilitate the raising and lowering a balance weight 11 is provided, with cables 12, passing over pulleys 13 mounted in the top of the cabinet and connected to the brackets 9. To release the dogs 5 from engagement with the rods 3, cranks 14 are provided which are pivoted upon the plate 7 to which cranks cables 15 are connected. Guide blocks 16 aremounted upon the said plate 7 through which ther cables 15 pass and between which and the crank coil springs 17 are placed. The cables 15 after passing along the sides of the plate 7 are connected to an equalizer 18, which equalizer is in turn fastened by a cable 2O to the tubular handle 19 at the end f of the plate 7. The interior surface of the handle 19 is uneven forming a-carn surface which corresponds with a surface formed upon the tubular end of the plate 7. Thus one half a revolution of the handle will exert a pull upon the cables 15 and release the dogs 5. It will be seen that the *T8/'Tof .the mounting plate 7.

mounting plate 7 is pivoted to the' brackets 9 through the flanges 8, and maybe swung from the perpendicular position in whichY it is enclosed within the cabinet l, to the horizontal position and to retain the plate in the horizontal position a quadrant V22 is formed upon the bracket 9' which kis engaged bya dog 23 pivoted upon vthe flange Upon l.this

mounting plate y7 a driving motor '241C- yis.

mounted.. '-lfhis drivingmotor has a toothed pinion 25 mounted within Ythe mountingl upon the lower, side rectangular holes are providedwhicli holes 2 8 are for thelreception of drive shafts. for accessories. The accessories aredeniouiitable from the plate 7 and the gears'and are provided with shafts to tit into the` rectangular# holes 28, segmental lugs 29 are providedxuponthe underside of theV said "plate 7 to hold accessory mountingsO one set of lugsbeing. provided lfor each different gear.V 'A shaft B'lxwith a ysquare end ittingrinto the rectangular holes 28 delivers the power from the gear Wheels tothe hitting andV by connecting up to the gear 25 power is taken direct from the inotor at high speed. Connecting to gear 2G y gives Alow speed and greater power andconnecting to gear 27 gives medium speed. The i mounting 30 forms a bearingfoi the shaft 3l outside of the mounting plate 7 giving greater stability and the lugs 29, of gear 26 are` of larger radius to the others to fit a meat grinder or any other device of a similar character Where power and slow speed are necessary. What I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent is p 1.Arn article of the lclass describedcoin` rising a drivin inotor and a train of Oears driven thereby, a base plate Vmounting for' the said motor,k means for holding acccssories uponthe said baseplate in relation to 7- and drivenby any member of the gear train, brackets upon which the said base plate is pivoted, supporting rods upon which the brackets are movable and a lcabinet interi` vorly of which the saidiods are mounted.'

2. An article of the class described comprising a driving motor and train of gears driven thereby, a base plateV mounting for the motor and for holding accessories thereof the gear train, with brackets pivoted upon the sides.l of the said base plate adjacent one end thereof the saidl brackets consisting of parallel plates with-rollers there` .on in relation to and driven by tlieinembers between with supporting rods which y,the

said brackets traverse, securing members to holdthe said brackets in relation tothe supporting rods and a cabinet adapted vto enclose thewhole of the supporting rods and apparatus carried thereby. Y
